AFFLECK'S HANDY NEW YORK GUIDE 



The Man Who Never Saw New York 

C. L. Edson, in the Kansas City Star 

Some day I'm going- to New York, 

That blooming town of thunder screams — 
I'm going where the gods uncork 

The fizzing spirit of my dreams. 
Across the lake, across the lands 

I'll fly upon the humming train, 
To where the giant Moloch stands 

That long has beckoned me in vain. 
New York, the grand New York, it seems 

A fairy city filled with sweets; 
My earliest boyhood's dippy dreams 

Ran riot through her distant streets. 
Horatio Alger's silly tales 

Of newsboys getting rich as grease, 
And young Nick Carter's wicked walls 

Of blushing beauties and the p'leece! 
They threw a glamor in my brain 

That made my boyish heart declare: 
"Some day I'm going to grab a train 

And never stop till I am there." 
The circling seasons swing around 

The gay carousal of the years, 
And Daddy Time, he still has found 

Me husking corn and whacking steers. 
But still the New York date line sticks 

To all the stories that I read; 
I dream of Broadway's stone and bricks , 

And learn to know the Gotham breed. 
I see the lights of Herald Square, 

I hear the waves on Battery Park, 
And I could travel anywhere 

In old Manhattan after dark. 
I know the Bowery like a book; 

"I'll ne'er go there," the old song said; 
But I am bound to have one look 

And down that classic street I'll tread. 
Since first of Brooklyn's bridge I read 

In geographic days gone by, 
They've strung a dozen up instead 

Like spider webs across the sky. 
The Chinese gods of Mott and Pell, 

I want to see them with my eyes, 
For long I've heard romancers tell 

Their thrilling Oriental lies. 
The old p'leece station had to go, 

That long was in Mulberry Street; 
The old New York I used to know 

Is crumbling underneath my feet. 
Old Tony Pastor's passed away; ' 

The footlights on his stage are dark. 
The Wax Musee will close some day , 

And next we'll miss old Central Park. 
It makes us old New Yorkers here, 

Who never saw New York at all, 
Drop many a sad, regretful tear 

To see the ancient landmarks fall. 
Yes, every youth of Yankee birth. 

He bears this dream within his soul, 
"New York, the grandest town on earth. 

New York shall be my final goal." 
Some day I'm going to New York, 

Across the lakes, across the lands. 
To where the path of dreams shall fork, 

And where the shining city stands! 



AFFLECK'S HANDY NEW YORK GUIDE 




AFFLECK'S HANDY NEW YORK GUIDE 



HUNDREDS of thousands of people pass through New 
York every year on their way to and from other 
points. There is a very strong and very natural 
desire on the part of these many travellers to 
spend anywhere from a few hours to a few days 
in this great national Metropolis before continuing their 
journey, and if they wish to do any sight-seeing, they must 
make the most of their spare time during that period. 

This little guide is the only work published to conveniently 
meet the needs of that class of visitors. All other works 
fail to explain the opportunity for a personal examination of 
the buildings, and objects of interest, which is really the 
only proper means for settling them in the memory. 

The writer has had considerable experience in showing 
strangers about the city on the lines herein laid out, and 
always with much saving of time and great satisfaction. 
Keep a cool head, and your eyes clear and alert. 
Do not be afraid to ask questions from the police, or 
citizens; you will find most of them polite, and friendly, 
and perfectly willing to direct strangers. Never mind if 
some of them imagine your questions foolish, their questions 
of you might seem far more so. In case of sudden severe 
illness or accident, send immediately for the nearest police- 
man without hesitation. 

Do not fear to enter any hotel, or public building, during" 
the proper hours, which are usually from 10 to 3 in public 
places. Very few places will refuse you admittance; most 
of them will welcome you. If they refuse you, leave without 
argument. 

Read the descriptive article about the next place you are 
going to visit before reaching there; read it again after 
you get there, and again as you leave it. It will take but a 
few moments, and will impress It on your memory.

AFFLECKS HANDY NEW YORK GUIDE 9 

A Short History of Manhattan 

It is said that there are many people who have lived all 
their lives almost within the sound of the roar of Niagara, but 
who have never seen its Falls. There are thousands of citi- 
zens of New York who know nothing about Coney Island or 
Rockaway. And it is alike true that there are tens of 
thousands of natives who know nothing of the history and in- 
teresting points of their home city. It seems almost in- 
credible that while the great cities of Europe have a his- 
tory dating back eight and ten centuries, the first hut built 
by white men on Manhattan was erected barely three cen- 
turies ago. Manhattan Island was discovered in 1.524 by John 
de Verrazana. a Florentine. Sailing under the flag of France, 
he anchored in the lower bay for three days, and later sailed 
a short distance up the Hudson. A statue erected to his 
memory by Italian citizens stands in Battery Park. In 1525 
a Portuguese named Gomez visited the island. In 1609 Hen- 
drik Hudson, the third discoverer, arrived and sailed up 
the North River to a point a little below Albany. 

Manhattan was the first or original name of the city. The 
first knowledge we have of the insatiate desire of New Yorkers 
to travel to the Old World was in IGll, when Adrian Block 
carried two sons of an Indian chief to Europe on a visit. 
Two years later Block built a group of huts at about where 
is now 45 Broadway, and also built a small vessel, named 
the Restless, which sailed out, trading along the coast, and 
which was the pioneer of the vast commerce of the city. 

The first male child born in Manhattan (1614) was Jean 
Vigne, whose mother had a farm at what is now about the 
corner of Wall and Pearl Streets. The first of that magni- 
ficent type, the "New York girl," born in the colony, was 
Sarah Rapaelje (162.5). 

In 1624, the Walloons, or French Hollanders arrived, 110 
in number, being the first colonizers, bringing their families, 
stock, farming implements, and seed. 

In 1626 came Peter Minuit, the first Director General, 
whose first official act was the purchase of Manhattan Island 
from the Indians, paying for it in beads and trinkets worth 
about $24. The real estate value of Manhattan is now over 
eight billion dollars. Pearl Street is the oldest street, and 
Bridge Street next. The first recorded conveyance of real 
estate was a lot on Bridge Street, for $9.60. In 1658 a good 
lot could be bought for about $50, and a good house rented 
lor $20 a year, and a man with $.3,000 was con- 
sidered a rich man. In 1745 a lot was sold at the 
southwest corner of Broadway and Dey Street for $375. and 
in 1770 for $1,900. On September 1, 1910, the first floor and 
basement of a new building on this site was rented for 
$50,000 a year. In 1760 four lots on the southwest corner of 
Broadway and Murray Street were leased for 21 years at 
$40 per annum. In 1910 the block front on Broadway, from 
Barclay Street to Park Place, was bought by Mr. F. W. 
Woolworth, the owner of the chain of 5 and 10 cent stores, 
for three million dollars, and he is now erecting on the plot 
a 57 story building, the entire outlay to cost about eight

million dollars. Mr. Wool worth's residence at the northeast 
corner of Eightieth Street and Fifth Avenue cost $1,500,000. 
In 1787 the lot, corner of Broadway and Exchange Place, 
sold for $500; it was sold in 1909 for $1,700,000. In 1628 the 
population had reached 270 living in houses of one story, 
with two rooms, with wooden chimneys and thatched straw 
roofs, furniture hewn from planks, and wooden platters and 
spoons. In 1910 the population of Manhattan was over 
2,500,000 and New York city entire, over 4,500,000. 

In August. 1628, the first public religious services in the 
city were held in a loft in South William Street. 

In 1633 the first schoolmaster arrived from Europe, Adam 
Rollandsen, and he had barely enough scholars to fill a 
bench. To-day there are 600 school and training school 
houses, 18,000 officers and teachers, and 700,000 scholars. 

With Rollandsen also came Domine Everardus Bogardus, 
the first accredited clergyman. In 1633 came General Von 
Twiller, with 104 Dutch troops, the first soldiers to enter 
Manhattan. In 1650 the first lawyer, Dirck Van Schellengne, 
arrived. In 1658 the first fire company, numbering eight 
men, was organized, called "The Rattle Watch," who were 
on duty from 9 P. M. until sunrise. They were equipped 
with hooks and ladders, and 250 buckets, imported frotn 
Holland. To-day we have the finest fire-fighting force in 
the world, consisting of over 5,000 men, 100 engines and 50 
trucks, and water towers. The city had a watchman, who, 
with the mayor, went around at night and locked the gates 
and told the people when to go to bed. In 1783 after the 
evacuation by the British, a captain of police was appointed 
with 20 men, whose pay was a shilling (25 cents) a night. 
To-day we are watched by over ten thousand police, and 
many of our worthy citizens never go to bed. In 1656 the 
Indians attacked the town and suburbs with a force of 2,000, 
and in 3 days killed 100 settlers and took 150 prisoners. 

In 1664 the English took possession of the city and named 
it New York. In 1692 orders were given for each house- 
holder to clean his section of the street, and in 1696 the 
first regular appropriation of $100, for that purpose, w-as made. 
Now, under our efficient department, there are 6,000 men, 
2,500 horses, 1,000 wagons, and 50 sweeping machines, who 
clean two thousand miles of street at a cost of nearly 
$10,000,000. In 1804 the first post office was opened in a 
room 12 by 15 feet, at 29 William Street, on the site of the 
present Lords Court Building, and continued there until 1825, 
when it was moved into a small school house at Broad and 
Exchange Place, with eight clerks. Now we have a gigantic 
post office building, with 50 branches, 250 sub-stations, and 
3,000 carriers in Manhattan alone, and an additional one 
is now building at the Pennsylvania Station which will be 
twice as large as the one down town. 

But coming down to a later date, the part which the city 
took in the formation of the Federal Government is interest- 
ing. In this city, at Federal Hall (now the site of the 
Treasury Building), the Federal Government was established, 
and President Washington inaugurated April 3, 1789, and the 
Government remained here for six years.

AFFLECK'S HANDY NEW YORK GUIDE 13 

But it is not our purpose at this time to write an ex- 
tended history of New York. Its history has already been 
written in a glorious past. It was settled by the decree of 
Nature centuries ago that this island is to be the grand 
landing place, warehouse, sample room, and exchange, of the 
Western Continent, for the simple reason that it is a natural 
port of entry for ships, and central as a terminal for railroads 
from the interior, and the open road up the Hudson to the 
canals and waterways of the West. 

I must close by saying that all loyal New Yorkers have 
the same devotion for their native city as the homesick 
world-trotter, who, while lying ill in Patagonia, when the 
nurse asked him if there was anything he wished, feverishly 
replied: "No, no, only take me back to Broadway, and when 
I die, let it be in Little Old New York." 

From the London Post. August 2S. igio 
Americans have plenty of fun in chaffing and criticizing 
New York, that great maelstrom which often misrepresents 
the true spirit of the American people. But every American en- 
tertains a sneaking fondness for New York just the same, 
and will take pride in seeing it push forward to its place as 
the largest city in the world. It is growing at a rate that 
will make it outstrip London in a few years, while other 
cities, its former rivals, are badly distanced. 

THE BATTERY PARK. 

This is a public park at the extreme southern end of 
the city. It is called the Battery from having been the site 
of the fortifications, and Custom House, erected by the first 
Dutch settlers. It was for many years a favorite resort of 
the citizens, and was skirted on the land sides by the resi- 
dences of the wealthy. 

CASTLE GARDEN. 

On the westerly side of Battery Park lies Castle Garden, 
which was originally erected in 1807, as a fort, called Fort 
Clinton, and in 1825 converted into a summer garden. It was 
at that time 1,500 feet from the main land, and reached by 
plank walks. The surroundings have since all been filled 
in up to Broadway. It was afterward changed to a concert 
hall. Here Lafayette was received and a grand ball was 
given in his honor when he revisited this country in 1824. 
It is now used as a public aquarium, under charge of the 
New York Zoological Society, and is the finest in the world. 
The tanks are constantly replenished with filtered salt water, 
from wells beneath the building. Admission is free and it 
is open daily from 10 to :i 

HARBOR FIRE BOATS. 

The fire boat station is on the right of the Aquarium, and 
at most times some of the boats are there, and well worthy 
of observance. 

THE BARGE OFFICE. 

Is at the southeast end of Battery Park. This is the 
gateway by which all emigrants coming from Europe to the 
Port of New York, get their entrance to the city.

ELLIS ISLAND. 

(Or KiniKrraiit Station) 

Is in the upper bay, iy2 miles from the Battery. Is used 
as the landing place of all emigrants entering this port. It 
can be reached by boat from the Barge Office. 

LIBERTY ISLAND. 

In the upper bay. Can be reached by boats, which leave 
the pier at the Battery hourly. Fare 25 cents for the round 
trip, which also entitles passengers to admission to the Statue, 
and the use of a bathing suit. 

GOVERNOR'S ISLAND, 

Is about half a mile south of the Battery. It is the U. S. 
Army headquarters for the Department of the East. It can 
be reached by boat from the Barge Office pier. 

STATEN ISLAND. 

Is a large residential island of great beauty, in the Bay, 
and extending to the ocean. It was purchased from the In- 
dians in 1657 for 10 shirts, 30 pairs of stockings, 10 guns 
and some tools. The island is reached by ferry boats from' 
the Battery. 

ELEVATED RAILROADS. 

The two elevated roads which skirt the east and west 
sides of the city, start at the extreme end of the Battery, 
and you can ride to the terminus of each road for a nickel' 
in that manner seeing a large part of the city. 

THE SUBWAYS. 

The subway trains also start from the Battery, near the 
foot of the stairs of the elevated roads. One branch goes 
up on the west side to Van Cortlandt Park; the other goes 
on the east side to Bronx Park. The fare is five cents bv 
either line. 

CUSTOM HOUSE. 
Crossing the Battery easterly, you come to the new Cus- 
tom House. This stands on the site of Fort Amsterdam, the 
first fort erected on Manhattan Island You can enter from 
the front or side of the building, to the rotunda, where all 
clearances of vessels are made and customs paid. You need 
feel no hesitation about going through the building. 

BOWLING GREEN. 

In front of the Custom House is Bowling Green, the oldest 
park in the city, and justly called the "Cradle of New York," 
for in its vicinity cluster the city's oldest traditions. Before 
1776 a lead statue of King George III. stood here, but on the 
evening that the Declaration of Independence was read to the 
people of the city, the statue was thrown down and the metal 
moulded into bullets, to be used in the battles for liberty. 
PRODUCE EXCHANGE. 

Opposite Bowling Green is the large building of the Pro- 
duce Exchange. It is an imposing structure The organiza- 
tion is the largest of its kind in the world, having 3,000 mem- 
bers. The visitors' gallery on the second floor is open from 
10 to 2 without tickets.

STANDARD OIL BUILDING. 

A short distance above, at 26 Broadway, is a large granite 
building, occupied by the Standard Oil Company as an execu- 
tive building. The first New York Directory, published in 
1786, in the advertisement tells of the excellent rum sold in 
the tavern at 26 Broadway. 

ALDRICH COURT, 39 AND 41 BROADWAY. 

This is the site of the first habitations of white men on the 
Island of Manhattan. Adrian Block erected four houses or 
huts here in 1613. He also built the first vessel built in Man- 
hattan, called the Restless, in 1614. 

FRAUNCES' TAVERN. 

This building, at the corner of Broad and Pearl streets, a 
short distance (one block) to the right from Produce Ex- 
change, is the most historic building downtown. It was built 
in 1725 as a residence, but afterward became an inn, kept 
by a former chef of General \Vashington. Here the Cham- 
ber of Commerce was organized and held its meetings for 
some years. At the close of the Revolutionary War, in 1783, 
General Washington made it his headquarters for a time. On 
the 4th day of December, 1783, Washington being about to 
leave the city, invited his officers to meet him in the long 
room on the second floor of the building, and after a few 
words of parting, gave each a loving caress and embrace and 
bade them an affectionate farewell. A few years ago a so- 
ciety of noble-hearted men, the "Sons of the Revolution," 
purchased, at a cost of $340,000, and restored the property 
and presented it to the people as a memorial. Visitors are 
allowed free access to the building, and should not fail to 
go to the long room and write their names in the visitors 
record on the table. This table was once the property of the 
immortal. Father of our Country. Also read the tablet on the 
wall, giving an account of the farewell by an eye witness of 
the event. 

COENTIES SLIP 
is two blocks east of here, on the water front. Here are 
docked the boats which come down from the Erie Canal, 
laden with all sorts of produce, mostly flour and grain. At 
the end of the pier may occasionally be seen one of the fast- 
disappearing type of merchant ships, three or four masters, 
bringing the merchandise of the Orient. Thirty years ago 
the wharves on this river were packed with large vessels 
of this type, but steamships have driven them out. This 
vicinity was the site of the first tavern and the first city hall. 
DELMONICO'S RESTAURANT. 

Turning north a few blocks to the corner of Beaver and 
William streets, we come to the famous Delmonico's, the

cotton are principally made, and it is usually a pretty lively 
spot. It is open from 10 to 2. The visitors' gallery is on the 
second floor. On this site William Bradford, the first public 
printer (April 10, 1693), issued the first newspaper printed in 
Manhattan, "The New York Gazette" in November, 1725. 

FARMERS' LOAN AND TRUST CO. 

A block north of the Cotton Exchange, on William street, 
is the Farmers' Loan and Trust Co., the largest trust com- 
pany in the world. This company issues checks and letters 
of credit to all parts of the world. 

CITY BANK. 

Continuing through William Street, one block, we come to 
Wall street, and the first building we see as we turn to the 
right is the City Bank This is the largest financial institu- 
tion in America, and next to the Bank of England, probably 
the largest in the world. This is sometimes called the Stand- 
ard Oil Bank; but the only interest that the Standard Oil 
Co. has in it is through the private interests of individual 
members. Youc an enter from the front and view the inter- 
ior. This building was formerly the Custom House. 

WALL STREET. 

You are now on the great street whose institutions govern 
the financial operations of this country, and will eventually 
those of the whole world, for Europe and the Orient are be- 
ginning to know that our securities are the safest and best 
paying investments in the world. On the block between Wil- 
liam and Nassau streets are some of the largest and most 
important of the banks and trust companies The street is 
only about one-half mile long and derives its name from the 
wall that followed the course of the street and which was the 
boundary line of the old city. In 1709 the Slave Market was 
at the foot of the street. 

ASSAY OFFICE. 

On the right, going toward Broadway, we come to the 
Assay Office, where all government assays are made and re- 
fining done. It is the oldest structure on the street (1S23) 
Jewelers and other manufacturers send their refuse of gold 
and silver here to be refined, and it is returned to them in 
blocks of fine gold and silver, bearing the government stamp, 
which guarantees its purity. Visitors are admitted daily 
from 10 to 2. 

UNITED STATES TREASURY. 

Next to the Assay Office is the Treasury Building, where 
all the financial business of the government is transacted for 
this district. Visitors are welcome from 10 to 2. On this 
site originally stood Federal Hall,, the first seat of the United 
States Government, and where Washington took the oath of 
office as first President of the United States, and the stone 
in front of the statue is the one he stood on. On the steps 
of the present building General Garfield stood when the an- 
nouncement of President Lincoln's death was received in the 
city, and made his famous speech to a mass of people, who 
packed every intersecting street, beginning, "God reigns and

the government at Washington still lives." It was a remark- 
able coincidence that Garfield should afterward meet the same 
fate as Lincoln. 

J. P. MORGAN & CO. 
Opposite the Treasury is the banking house of J. P. Mor- 
gan & Co., an institution of great interest, for in no part 
of the world is this great house unknown. The great work 
which was done by Mr. J. P. Morgan in helping allay the 
financial convulsion of 1907 deserves the hearty commenda- 
tion of all the American people. 

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE. 

Opposite J. P. Morgan & Co.'s, on Broad street, is the New 
York Stock Exchange, a magnificent marble building. Ad- 
mission is only allowed to the gallery by introduction of a 
member of the exchange. 

TRINITY CHURCH. 

At the head of Wall street stands Trinity Church, whose 
church history dates back over 200 years. It is the richest 
church organization in America. The graveyard surrounding 
the church contains tombstones dating as far back as the 
first church itself, among which are those of Robert Fulton 
and Alexander Hamilton. The beautiful bronze doors in 
front and on the sides were a memorial gift from the Astor 
family (who worship here) and cost fifty thousand -dollars. 
The church is always open and visitors are at liberty to walk 
through the aisles and around the altars 

BANK CLEARING HOUSE. 

Opposite the Equitable Building, on Cedar Street, is the 
Clearing House, where all the associated banks of the city 
make their exchanges every morning at 10 o'clock and receive 
or pay their balances. This is the most costly building for its 
size in the city. Its steel vaults are the largest and strongest 
in the world. 

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BUILDING. 

65 Liberty street. The society is the oldest commercial 
organization in the United States and was founded in Fraun- 
ces' Tavern in 1768 

MAIDEN LANE. 

The street to the north on the right hand side is Maiden 
Lane. This is the centre of the wholesale watch, diamond, 
jewelry and silverware trade. The block from Broadway to 
Nassau street contains many fine stores, which make a large 
display of gold and silverware and precious stones. 

GOLDEN HILL. 

John and William Streets. On block north of Maiden 
Lane is John street and about this spot was shed the first 
blood of the Revolution in a battle between the Sons of Lib- 
erty and British Regulars, January 18, 1770. 

OLDEST BUILDING IN THE CITY. 

122 William street. A few doors north of John street stands 
a sturdy-looking building, built in 1692, of bricks imported 
from Holland. It is a great many years older than any other

building in the city. John street, or First Methodist Church, 
on the block east between William and Nassau streets, stands 
the cradle of Methodism in this country, erected in 1818. 
Many interesting mementos can be seen. Devotional meet- 
ings are held daily from 12 to 1. 

SINGER BUILDING. 

Returning through John street to Broadway on the west 
side we see the Singer Building, owned by the heirs of the 
inventors of the Singer Sewing machine. You can go to the

Cortlandt and Church Streets. Back of the Singer Building 
are the buildings underneath which is the terminal of the 
tunnel, which' runs under the Hudson river to Jersey City 
and Hoboken, and intersecting the Pennsylvania, Erie and 
Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad Depots. 

ST. PAUL'S CHURCH. 

Returning to Broadway and going north two blocks we 
come to historic old St Paul's Church, belonging to the Trin- 
ity Corporation. The building is the oldest church edifice 
in the city (1767). The building and appurtenances, with 
the exception of the organ and some of the fittings, are just 
as it was built. When part of the city was destroyed by fire 
in 1776 (Trinity included), the roof only of St. Paul's was 
burned. After that the British used it as a stable. After 
the evacuation in 1783 it was restored and during the city's 
occupation by the American troops. General Washington and 
Governor Clinton worshipped here. The church is open daily 
from 9 to 4, and visitors are always welcome and may enjoy 
the privilege of sitting in the pews once occupied by Wash- 
ington and Clinton. 

ASTOR HOUSE. 

Across from St. Paul's is the Astor House, the oldest hotel 
in the city and the only one of any prominence downtown. 
It is an ancient appearing establishment. It is patronized 
mostly by traveling salesmen. It gives an excellent service 
This property is owned by the Astor family, the head of 
which was the lamented John Jacob Astor, who so heroically 
sacrificed his life on the steamship Titanic, April 15, 1912. 

ST. PETER'S CHURCH. 

Barclay and Church streets One block west on Barclay 
street stands St. Peter's Church, the oldest Catholic Church 
in the city. The first Roman Catholic priest arrived in New 
York in 1683, but not until 1784 was the denomination al- 
lowed its religious liberty. The first church was built on this 
site in 1786. 

THE WOOLWORTH BUILDING. 

On the block north of the Astor House is the highest build- 
ing in the world. It is 750 feet from the sidewalk to the 
top of the tower. .There are 57 stories, with a lookout gal- 
lery on the 56th floor, accessible to visitors. The great light 
on apex of dome can be seen for 50 miles. The building iss 
owned by Mr. F. W. Woolworth, the proprietor of the chain

of 5 and 10-cent stores throughout the country. The entire 
cost is about eight million dollars. The building is construct- 
ed of fireproof material throughout. The present office is at 
280 Broadway. 

POST OFFICE. 
To the north of the Astor House is the Post Office In the 
upper stories the United States Courts are held. On this site 
from 1766 to 1776 stood the Liberty Pole, erected by the Sons 
of Liberty to commemorate the repeal of the Stamp Act. 
In its defense the first martyr's blood of the Revolution was 
shed on January 8, 1770. 

CITY HALL. 

North of the Post Office, in the park, is the City Hall, 
the headquarters of the City Government. The park itself is 
one of the oldest pieces of land belonging to the city, the 
title having been given in 1886. Every spot of the ground 
is hallowed with historic interest. The hall was built in 
1803-1812, and at that time was considered to be on the out- 
skirts of the city. This building is considered to be one of 
the finest pieces of architecture in the city. On the first floor 
is the Mayor's office and the Marriage License Bureau. On 
the second floor is the Governor's room, used for official re- 
ceptions and other especial occasions. It contains many ar- 
ticles of historical interest, belonging to Washington and 
other noted personages. This room is open to visitors from 
10 to 2. 

PRINTING HOUSE SQUARE. 

To the east of the City Hall Park is Printing House Square, 
where most of the large newspaper buildings are located. 

BROOKLYN BRIDGE. 

At the north of the square is the Brooklyn Bridge, the first 
great highway to bind Manhattan Island to Long Island A 
walk across the bridge is very inspiring, particularly just 
after dark, when the tall office buildings have been lighted, 
giving them the appearance of castles on hills. 

WORLD BUILDING. 

At the entrance to the Bridge is the World Building. The 
extreme height is 375 1^ feet. A fine view of the city can be 
obtained from the tower from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m.

for city offices. 

HALL OF RECORDS. 
A massive stone building at the corner of Chambers and 
Centre streets. 

THE TOMBS AND DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

to the Tombs or City Jail, where persons are held awaiting 
trial, and opposite is the Criminal Court Building, where 
trials are held for crimes. A covered bridge connects this 
building with the Tombs, called the "Bridge of Sighs," be- 
cause across this bridge persons have to go from prison to 
trial. The courts are open to the public from 10 to 2.

FIVE POINTS AND PARADISE PARK. 

To the east of the Tombs, through Leonard street, we 
come to Paradise Park This section was formerly known as 
the Five Points a generation ago, the centre of all that was

town. 

CHINATOWN. 

Two blocks east to Mott street, we come to Chinatown, 
the far-famed centre of Oriental life in this great cosmopoli- 
tan metropolis. Here you can see the Chinese in their native 
environment; their stores, joss houses, theatres, and every- 
thing connected with their mode of life. No one need feel 
any hesitancy in going about their streets unattended, for 
they — the Chinese — are the most peaceable of citizens. 

THE BOWERY. 

We turn through either Pell or Doyer Streets and enter 
the Bowery, once the great emporium of the East Side, but 
its glory now departed 

THE EAST SIDE. 

Going up a block or two past the Manhattan Bridge, we 
turn east through Canal street to the great Ghetto or Jewish 
quarter. You can wander around here as long as you have 
spare time, and find something new to interest you at every 
block. At Delancey street we see the Williamsburgh Bridge, 
the second bridge built across the river. The high tide of 
congestion in these streets is reached on Orchard street, 
from Delancey to Houston street.

goods house, the acme of department store culture. On the 
second floor of the new building is a large auditorium, or 
music hall, beautifully upholstered and decorated and con- 
taining a large organ. Free organ, piano, Pianola and vocal 
recitals and concerts are given almost daily, morning and 
afternoon, by first class artists. Visitors have the privilege 
of going in and taking any vacant seat and can remain five 
minutes or an hour, as their time will permit, going from 
there into the main building and across a covered bridge into 
the old building. On the top floor is a fine gallery of valu- 
able paintings and a commodious restaurant. Toilets are on 
this floor. Everything is done by the proprietor of this es-

FLAT IRON BUILDING. 

Broadway, 5th Avenue and 23rd Street. On the opposite 
corner is the renowned triangular edifice known as the 
Flat Iron Building from its peculiar shape. The Plaza in

zephyrs which waft around the vicinity on a windy day. 

MADISON SQUARE. 

Crossing from the Flat Iron Building, we come to Madison 
Square, on the east side of which stand many noted buildings, 
foremost of which is the 

METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE BUILDING,

One block west, at 26th Street and Fifth Avenue, in the 
Brunswick Building, is the elegant grocery house of Park 
& Tilford, where can be obtained everything pertaining to 
gastronomy, as also the finest wines, cigars and confections. 
This beautiful exhibit is almost a dream and from the at- 
tractive manner that the goods are presented, it would seem 
as though they were too good to eat. Their exhibit of con- 
fectionery, all of their own manufacture, is exceptionally fine. 
Goods may be ordered and shipped to any part of the coun- 
try. 

BRENTANO'S BOOK STORE. 

Fifth Avenue, corner of 27th Street. Adjoining Park & 
Tilford's on the north, is another establishment of world-wide

tano's. Here can be found almost any book or magazine of 
any note and if they fail to have it in stock, will get it 
for you, even from the ends of the earth. This is the only 
house in the city that has constantly on hand a full line 
of Baedecker's Guides through Europe. 

LITTLE CHURCH AROUND THE CORNER. 

29th Street, east of oth Avenue. Going north two blocks 
and turning east from 5th Avenue is the noted church which 



AFFLECK'S HANDY NEW YORK GUIDE 




~m 




AFFLECK'S HANDY NEW YORK GUIDE 33 

derived its popular name from the fact that when application 
was made to the rector of another more fashionable church 
near by to read the funeral service over the remains of 
George Holland, an actor well known for his virtues, the 
rector hesitated and remarked that there was "a little 
church around the corner" where they did that sort of thing. 
The incident received wide publicity, and the name has clung 
to the church ever since. The proper name is the Church of 
the Transfiguration." 

PENNSYLVANIA R. R. STATION. 

Returning to Broadway (one block west), we turn north 
to 32nd Street and then west to the new depot of the Penn- 
sylvania Railroad. This is the largest depot building in the

To the southwest of the Museum is the Obelisk. This 
great monolith, which stood upon the bank of the River Nile, 
in Egypt, for over 3,000 years, was presented in 1877 to the 
City of New York by the Khedive of Egypt and was brought 
over to this country in an especially prepared ship by Com- 
modore H. H. Gorringe, of the U. S. Navy, at a cost of $75,000. 
The entire expense was met by the late William H. Van- 
derbilt. 

There are, of course, many more places of lesser interest 
that could be added to this work, but as it is particularly 
designed to meet the needs of these whose stay in the city 
is limited, we feel assured that a person or a party can 
learn more about the principal places of interest than from 
any other published. 

The publisher is indebted to Mr. T. Wilkerson for copies: 
of fine views of New York contained herein. The illustra-. 
tions of old New York are from old prints.

from Washington Square or south from 90th Street and Fifth 
Avenue, you can ride the whole length of the avenue for 10 
cents. A finely illustrated book, with an extremely interesting 
history of Fifth Avenue, called "Both Sides of Fifth Avenue,"

be found handy for reference. 

RIVERSIDE DRIVE AND GRANT'S TOMB.

Street Directory of the Borough of 
Manhattan 



Hints for Using the Street Directory. 

All numbered East side streets from E. 8th to E. 142d begin 
at 5th Av. and run to East River. Beginning with E. 11th St. 
one hundred numbers are used on each block between the avenues 
(Madison and Lexing'ton Avenues not considered). The location 
of any given number is thus definitely indicated. 

All numbered West side streets from W. 10th to W. 144th begin 
at 5th Av. (except those from 59th to 109th, which begin at Cen- 
tral Park W.) and run to North or Hudson River, the same 
principle of numbering being used. 

All odd numbers are on the north side of the street, the even 
numbers on the south side.
